What's new

Game Thread? OKC vs. Utah

I've said it before and I know it's not a popular idea and probably would never happen but maybe bring Bogey off of the bench and allow him to play more freely. I think he could be a Lou Williams type 18+ ppg 15+ shots per game player.

dunno about that but i was expecting them to run him as the scorer with the second unit before the season started.
 
What's weird is Mitchell was playing the exact same way last December, then claimed later on to have learned his lesson from it. I guess he forgot.

meh. I give Mitchell a break. A forced Mitchell shot is still better than a wide open shot for Conley, Exum, Niang, Green, Mudiay, and jingles right now.
 
What a s**** day. I had a crown and post fall out this morning while brushing my teeth, work was horrible, then the Jazz come out with no energy and get played off their own court by a tired below .500 team. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.

Right there with you on the same page. Woke up yesterday sick. Woke up this morning feeling even worse. Went to work and dealt with a busy day. Come home, Jazz get crushed. Tomorrow is my bday and I have to go to work and I still feel like death. Fun times.
 
Mudiay is shooting 30% from 3-pt and has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.3. He got dumped by the Knicks after last season, and, quite frankly, he's barely holding on to a spot in the league.

Jeff Green averages 2.8 rebs per game in over 19 mins of game time, and he only plays spotty defense. There's a reason he's a minimum-contract player.

The starters aren't the problem. Their +/- has been positive, even through the losing streak.

exactly. There’s a reason why we got scraps from other teams to min contracts... these scraps suck.
 
I wish Exum could get about 10 games with 15 minutes to 20 minutes per game without getting yanked for every little mistake. Give him some consistent playing time, let him build some confidence. Then assess. If he isn’t going to make the cut, then ship him out. But I absolutely hate the double standard where his mistakes are magnified and Mitchell and Mudiay are allowed to get away with such selfish play.

Joe didn’t get to handle the ball near as much in the 3rd quarter. The Jazz are so much better when Joe runs the offense vs. Mitchell. Mitchell is looking to get his shot. Joe is looking to create a good shot for somebody else.

!! Ditto
 
Oooooof that one hurt... like in a way that I’m super disappointed and just not surprised... and a little numb.

DM didn’t make shots I didn’t have too much of an issue with how he played. Bojan was garbage on defense tonight. Rudy doesn’t seem to be bothering people on defense right now. No one looks like they have energy and nobody looks like they want to play basketball.

Quin needs to figure out wtf is going on... he’s either failing to Xs and Os or the mental/ego management. Can’t keep running the same **** with the same guys... the energy a guy like Brantley could bring might really help... Niang ain’t it but neither is Ed Davis. Tony can at least catch and finish sometimes and teams gonna score on us anyway.

This might get super ugly.
